I got into aviation when I joined the Air Training Corps at 13 and soon visited my first air show. My dad was into photography, so I borrowed his camera and my journey into film stills started. I still have his Nikon F60 and AF 35-80mm f/4-5.6D (that still works well on my D7200). I took a long pause between 1995 and 2016, but redundancy gave me the opportunity to invest in my first DSLR, a Nikon D3200 with the AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED. I took it to the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford and my passion was reignited.
